Discussions on the replacement of the Lake Wyman Park playground facility began in late 2023 and continued through 2024. In may 2025, plans were completed and the project was placed out to bid. Four firms bid on the project. The playground renovation project is federally funded and consists of the demolition of existing playground structures, rubber surfacing and chain-link fence with posts. It also includes the installation of new playground equipment with an integrated shade structure, new benches and trash cans, the installation of new poured-in-place rubber surfacing and mulch, and restoration of an pavilion structure.
